What is a “pre-professional” degree in architectural studies?
The 4-year pre-professional Architectural Studies program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (BS in AS) degree. A pre-professional degree allows students to apply for advanced standing in a professional Master of Architecture (M. Arch) program. At Illinois, students with a pre-professional BS in AS can complete the M. Arch in 2 years. The 4 + 2 structure of our programs allows students to take a balance of liberal arts and professional courses as undergraduates in preparation for the rigors of a professional program. Many students choose to gain experience by working in a professional office during summers or before returning for the professional (M. Arch) degree. Students must apply to the M. Arch program in a competitive admissions process.
